Talk:Ostflucht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello visitors. This page needs correction.
So far I have removed this sentence: "Another reason for the creation of the settlement commision was the growing activity of radical polnish nationalist groups, who tryed to destroy the territorial integrity of the country. "
Reason: strong bias suspected. If his sentence refers to groups which wanted to restore Poland in Province of Posen (Wielkopolska), then indeed they would destroy the teritorial integrity of Germany in the same way as Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia destroyed the integrity of Soviet Union. I hope the parallel is clear. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it MUST retain a standard of entries which meets cetrain, well defined standards. Clear facts, not manipulated facts.
Another sentence needs rephrasing: "These groups wanted more than just cultural autonomy". Sounds like those damn Poles just wanted to destroy Eastern Germany. A quick reviev of historic events: Poles from the Province of Posen (Wielkopolska) didn't move to East Germany, but rather to Ruhrgebiet (spelling?), because there was work to be found. While I'm not a historian, I cannot recall any groups of Poles moving to Brandenburg - what for? Any sources? BTW There was migration to Berlin, both Polish and German - Berlin was the nearby large city (e.g. Paul von Hindenburg)
Please quote sources: "At the same time, increased immigration into the eastern German regions by Poles from western Russia caused". Poles from Western Russia? I'm not sure any Russian citizens were able to freely travel abroad - as they were forbidden to travel freely within Russia itself!
Again, a strong appeal: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it MUST retain a standard of entries which meets standards. Clear facts, not manipulated facts.
